I’m guessing you’re referring to a jurisdiction within the US?

In the UK the law is clear and explicit: it’s on the retailer (and not the manufacturer or wholesaler) to make sure the goods are “Fit for purpose”, “As described”, and of “Satisfactory quality”.

There’s no wiggle room for “consumer guessed the goods might not be as described”.

I can imagine there are some US jurisdictions where something similar is also true.
